I hate nostalgia because we all look at the past through pink colored glasses, and most of the time they reconsider the things we love breaking the illusion on how to return “things” a day because they were not. We were just children and did not assume great responsibilities or people who rely on us, so we yearn for the days that were seen as simpler, although our parents may also lose their minds on the same things that we fear today after we all grew. So when I went to watch A24 Y2kI was calculating that this would be the typical monetary seizure of the millennial generation of aging so that they could get a dose of berries that affect the need before returning to “butter”.
I was very wrong in my evaluation because it is not only Y2k It is a nuclear bomb from nostalgia that is meaningless, it does not have completely mercy in its self -awareness, which allows her to enjoy simultaneously the audience, allow them to enter the joke, then tend to the joke so much that it stops being funny, but only before returning to more than 10 times and letting you pant the breathing to occur deeply.
At least this was my experience.
It is difficult to talk about without spoiling
I will give you the basic raging Y2kAnd why do I think it is working because it is organized in a way that I can allow you to enter the movie mechanics without spoiling some great disclosure.
A group of friends is trying to break the New Year’s Eve party in 1999. In the middle of the night, all hell collapses when each device goes into the party in a murder case; Mamsa, mixers, VCRS … You can name technology, and may be exciting, destroy or destroy the faces of a group of innocent teenagers in the most brutal way.
Macintosh injustice absorbs other nearby devices and grows into a huge robot that chases children through the woods as if Jason Voorhees was.
A girl embodies every student who studys a lot in technology in the nineties (Think InfiltratorsKnow everything about Mainframes and harmful programs, and you know exactly how the robot uprising is lowered because it designed the school web site in the school … or something like that.
a lot From Bizkit.
As I said, this is all very stupid, but this is the point.
Why does it work
Without a suitable context (he grew up in the nineties, or at least realize what children were if you were adult),, Y2k Humor will be lost on you, and this is good. But if you are in the joke, you will realize that everyone Simpson family The reference and the technological film coming from the contract that inspired this film is implemented to the point of perfection.
naturally VCR, not connected to the Internet, is able to gain everything because it simply sits near something connected to a modem. naturally Ski plates destroy young people. I know that I said, not the spoilers, but naturally Farid Dorset will put on the backward Red Cap Yanxiz, as if the bull himself did not sing it with his hammer because the day of reckoning began and we need a hero who does not know fear to help lead human resistance against the robot uprising.
This is true, we basically have a recent version of Segmentation Technology along with some Nu Metal Metal is dangerous, which makes it all feel that the entire production was sponsored by Jolt Cola.
The best way to describe Y2k It is a love letter to itself to nostalgia to the 90s designed for people who completely hate this kind of things. While watching Y2kI never thought about myself, “this is cheap”, but instead, my family awakened on multiple occasions because I was laughing very much about the absurdity of everything – the entire movie plays like something that our fathers in the 1990s will make in a misleading attempt to look cold in front of their children.
The number of your miles may vary
Listen, either you will love Y2k Or I hate it completely, which is good. But if you are of a certain age, a long time for my old days but you cannot overcome your mockery, and you need a good laugh at your expense because the only way you know how you feel emotions is through self -overcoming, you are in such a treatment.
And for everyone who hates this movie … I understand. I know very well that this is the most expensive movie I have seen about a decade, but it is very convenient to watch what begins as a public adolescent screaming movie that starts very quickly and continues to formulate his own path completely because it completely calms down your expectations with every corridor scene, while each character plays completely straight.
Y2k He is So Stupid and above the upper part, but it does not try to be anything else. Therefore, my infinite respect because I never laughed very much about the science fiction movie very long ago.
Until writing these lines, you can broadcast Y2k On the Max.
